It takes just a few seconds to understand that Ironsword plays something cheesy, yet let's dig a bit more than that together, ok?

The sound of the Portuguese band is quite simple and straight in your face, influenced by bands like Manilla Road and Judas Priest with a touch of Manowar but without any trace of high pitched voice, making it sometimes closer to a band like Grave Digger (for young people to have a reference).

Maybe expectations were too high for this, it is a disappointing album to say the least I don't even mind the unoriginality that much if the songs are good. But I cannot say that I find most of these songs better than average, "Beginning Of The End" and "Nemedian Chronicles" being the better ones here, good catchy songs that I would listen to again. I'd really like to like this band because of their true metal nature, but with albums like this they will remain as poor man's Manilla Road

I agree whit you, i think band overwrite them selves and somehow maybe they had bad influences, all those 80's bands, many are just average, they put trick out of old generation because they are first.
I was hoping a bit better, but in general its not bad either.
Dead n Glory is best song here
